Recently I was speaking with some constituents in Rusticoville that were wondering why their PEI drivers license shows their community as Anglo Rustico. I contacted the Department of Transportation, Infrastructure and Energy and they quickly got back to me with the cause and a resolution to the issue.
- Mailing addresses are derived by the postal codes supplied by Canada Post.
- The postal code is typed in and then the communities are displayed.
- Rusticoville does not display as a choice provided by Canada Post.
- However, it can be manually typed in for the civic address by the Access PEI staff person.
- When it is typed in manually Rusticoville will appear for the civic address / community on the drivers license.
So, the Highway Safety Division (HSD) will be sending out a note to Access PEI staff, reminding them Rusticoville can be manually typed into the Civic Address field of the HSD database for those requesting this designation on their driver’s license.
Of course the mailing address for Canada Post / postal code will show Hunter River unless the customer has a mailing address at a different location in PEI such as Charlottetown etc.
For anyone with questions or concerns on this matter, you can contact Graham Miner using the information below.
Thanks to the Minister and her staff for a quick resolution to this matter!
